Check(point) yourself before you wreck yourself in tumors
Expression of the inhibitory receptor PD-1 on regulatory T cells in the tumor microenvironment provides intrinsic stabilization, proliferation and metabolic rewiring signals to restrain tumor immunity.

Follicular regulatory T cells control humoral and allergic immunity by restraining early B cell responses
Follicular regulatory T (TFR) cells have specialized roles in modulating follicular helper T (TFH) cell activation of B cells. However, the precise role of TFR cells in controlling antibody responses to foreign a...

Suppression by TFR cells leads to durable and selective inhibition of B cell effector function
Follicular regulatory T cells (TFR cells) inhibit follicular helper T cell (TFH cell)-mediated antibody production. Sharpe and colleagues show that TFR cells induce a distinct suppressive state in TFH cells and B...

Control of PI(3) kinase in Treg cells maintains homeostasis and lineage stability
Regulatory T cells normally maintain high expression of the phosphatase PTEN. Turka and colleagues use conditional deletion of PTEN in regulatory T cells to show that it is critical for their function and stab...

The receptor PD-1 controls follicular regulatory T cells in the lymph nodes and blood
Follicular regulatory T cells control humoral immune responses, but how these cells are in turn controlled has been unclear. Sharpe and colleagues demonstrate that signaling via PD-1 regulates number and funct...
